Lebanese Kaak is more than just bread; it's a staple of street food culture and a nostalgic childhood memory for many. At Em Fares Bakery, we pride ourselves on authentic recipes passed down through generations.

The secret lies in the mahlab (an aromatic spice made from the seeds of a species of cherry) and the long fermentation process. This not only gives the dough its unique, slightly sweet and nutty flavor but also ensures that signature chewy texture.

Our traditional wood-fired ovens bake the Kaak to a perfect golden brown, giving it a slightly crispy exterior while remaining soft inside. We love serving it warm, stuffed with picon cheese or simply sprinkled with za'atar.
